Contrary to British ColonialBurma that existed for only 62 years Lover Burma and especially Rangoon were British colony for 95 years.
The British made Rangoon a key player in the network of international commerce and finance thus Rangoon was of considerable domestic and international significance and Burma's most sophisticated and important city as capital, financial and economic centre and hardly distinguishable from most of the important port cities in Asia and elsewhere.
Most of Rangoon's inhabitants (about 2 third) were foreigners, namely, British, Indians, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, French, Germans, Americans, Jews, etc. but not Burmese. Today's Yangon is still a hotchpotch of different nationalities and races for which reason neither the past colonial Rangoon nor the present Yangon could and can be seen as part of the real Burma. However, British Colonial Rangoon has played a decisive role in and for Burma's history and has become integral part of it.
For this reason it is necessary to explore Rangoon/Yangon now before it is too late.
So far so good. Now allow me to say a few words about what we will be doing here and why we will do it. Usually, when tourists are coming to Rangoon/Yangon they just visit the ScottMarket and maybe the Strand Hotel, walk a bit around and look at the one or other old building such as the General Post Office but are otherwise focused on pagodas; they visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Sule Pagoda and the Botataung Pagoda and that is it. In other words, they are more concerned with the 'Burmese Yangon' than the 'British Colonial Rangoon'. And that is a waste of the great opportunity to see the colonial Rangoon in detail. Now, at the end of 2014, it may be the last chance because the cityscape is changing fast now and soon many of the old buildings will either be gone or are not to be seen in their original form and traditional surroundings anymore.
Rangoon is the city with the largest number of British colonial buildings in all of south-east Asia. Owing to the till today existing relatively healthy mix of British colonial buildings (although many of them are unfortunately deteriorated and dilapidated) and Buddhist pagodas Yangon (especially downtown Yangon well known for its iconic colonial architecture) still has a charm all its own. But, alas, since old buildings with no regard for the extremely high value of this architectural heritage are recklessly demolished at an alarming speed and rate to make way for the construction of a large number of modern buildings the day that poor copies of 'Mies van der Rohe architecture' (also known as Industrial Architecture or Mid-Century Modernism) in the form of cheap and ugly high-rising glass, concrete and steel buildings will dominate the cityscape and destroy this charm forever will not be far off.
Yes, there is a Yangon Heritage Trust, founded by U Thant Myint Oo (grandson of U Thant, Secretary General of the United Nations from 1961 to 1971) comprising heritage advocates, architects and historians and there are also a Yangon HeritageList and a preservation law 'protecting' all buildings being older than 50 years from being demolished. But this law is relatively vague and I am most skeptical as to how effective these things will be in reality because Yangon's present reality means a narrow, short-sighted view of certain business interests and business here means making as much money as quick as possible without regard for anyone or anything else. This is the death nail for any serious programme that serves the preservation of colonial heritage. Therefore, I am afraid that the chance to see Yangon's collection of colonial-era buildings is fading fast. For this reason I have written this book as my contribution to the preservation of British Colonial Rangoon for posterity

Yangon

Yangon (Burmese:ရန်ကုန်, MLCTS rankun mrui, pronounced:[jàɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon, literally: "End of Strife") is a former capital of Myanmar (Burma) and the capital of Yangon Region. It also served as the Capital in Exile of Azad Hind. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of over five million, and is the most important commercial centre, although the military government officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in March 2006.

Although Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in south-east Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.

Etymology

Yangon (ရန်ကုန်) is a combination of the two words yan (ရန်) and koun (ကုန်), which mean "enemies" and "run out of" respectively. It is also translated as "End of Strife". "Rangoon" most likely comes from the British imitation of the pronunciation of "Yangon" in the Arakanese language, which is [rɔ̀ɴɡʊ́ɴ].

Shooting

The film's shooting began on 18 November 2015 in Arunachal Pradesh. Many junior artists from Japan joined the crew for the first shift. As of January 17 the film shooting has been halted due to an injury to Shahid Kapoor and a Japanese artist.

British Empire

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 13,000,000sqmi (33,670,000km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated, England, France, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia. A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (and then, following union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain) the dominant colonial power in North America and India.

British Colonial Rangoon

Please go to http://www.realburmabyburman.com
Contrary to British ColonialBurma that existed for only 62 years Lover Burma and especially Rangoon were British colony for 95 years.
The British made Rangoon a key player in the network of international commerce and finance thus Rangoon was of considerable domestic and international significance and Burma's most sophisticated and important city as capital, financial and economic centre and hardly distinguishable from most of the important port cities in Asia and elsewhere.
Most of Rangoon's inhabitants (about 2 third) were foreigners, namely, British, Indians, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, French, Germans, Americans, Jews, etc. but not Burmese. Today's Yangon is still a hotchpotch of different nationalities and races for which reason neither the past colonial Rangoon nor the present Yangon could and can be seen as part of the real Burma. However, British Colonial Rangoon has played a decisive role in and for Burma's history and has become integral part of it.
For this reason it is necessary to explore Rangoon/Yangon now before it is too late.
So far so good. Now allow me to say a few words about what we will be doing here and why we will do it. Usually, when tourists are coming to Rangoon/Yangon they just visit the ScottMarket and maybe the Strand Hotel, walk a bit around and look at the one or other old building such as the General Post Office but are otherwise focused on pagodas; they visit the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Sule Pagoda and the Botataung Pagoda and that is it. In other words, they are more concerned with the 'Burmese Yangon' than the 'British Colonial Rangoon'. And that is a waste of the great opportunity to see the colonial Rangoon in detail. Now, at the end of 2014, it may be the last chance because the cityscape is changing fast now and soon many of the old buildings will either be gone or are not to be seen in their original form and traditional surroundings anymore.
Rangoon is the city with the largest number of British colonial buildings in all of south-east Asia. Owing to the till today existing relatively healthy mix of British colonial buildings (although many of them are unfortunately deteriorated and dilapidated) and Buddhist pagodas Yangon (especially downtown Yangon well known for its iconic colonial architecture) still has a charm all its own. But, alas, since old buildings with no regard for the extremely high value of this architectural heritage are recklessly demolished at an alarming speed and rate to make way for the construction of a large number of modern buildings the day that poor copies of 'Mies van der Rohe architecture' (also known as Industrial Architecture or Mid-Century Modernism) in the form of cheap and ugly high-rising glass, concrete and steel buildings will dominate the cityscape and destroy this charm forever will not be far off.
Yes, there is a Yangon Heritage Trust, founded by U Thant Myint Oo (grandson of U Thant, Secretary General of the United Nations from 1961 to 1971) comprising heritage advocates, architects and historians and there are also a Yangon HeritageList and a preservation law 'protecting' all buildings being older than 50 years from being demolished. But this law is relatively vague and I am most skeptical as to how effective these things will be in reality because Yangon's present reality means a narrow, short-sighted view of certain business interests and business here means making as much money as quick as possible without regard for anyone or anything else. This is the death nail for any serious programme that serves the preservation of colonial heritage. Therefore, I am afraid that the chance to see Yangon's collection of colonial-era buildings is fading fast. For this reason I have written this book as my contribution to the preservation of British Colonial Rangoon for posterity

Yangon

Yangon (Burmese:ရန်ကုန်, MLCTS rankun mrui, pronounced:[jàɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰]; also known as Rangoon, literally: "End of Strife") is a former capital of Myanmar (Burma) and the capital of Yangon Region. It also served as the Capital in Exile of Azad Hind. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of over five million, and is the most important commercial centre, although the military government officially relocated the capital to Naypyidaw in March 2006.

Although Yangon's infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in south-east Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. While many high-rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated throughout downtown and Greater Yangon in the past two decades, most satellite towns that ring the city continue to be deeply impoverished.

Etymology

Yangon (ရန်ကုန်) is a combination of the two words yan (ရန်) and koun (ကုန်), which mean "enemies" and "run out of" respectively. It is also translated as "End of Strife". "Rangoon" most likely comes from the British imitation of the pronunciation of "Yangon" in the Arakanese language, which is [rɔ̀ɴɡʊ́ɴ].
